Concerts
All Zenobia concerts include Zenobia’s own songs as well as well-known seasonal songs and other hits from the Danish song treasury. During the concerts, folk music is always represented by 2-3 pieces – either Mette Kathrine’s new compositions or traditional melodies. Community singing is also part of the program if there are songbooks, hymnals, or song sheets available.
Everything is interwoven with Zenobia’s stories and anecdotes.

Concert Formats
Årsværk Concert
In 2024, Zenobia launched a new concert titled “ÅRSVÆRK.” The concert is a musical journey through the year, ending where we started. Writing for the changing seasons is an old tradition, and the Folk High School Songbook is filled with seasonal songs. This concert has grown out of that tradition.
The concert includes Zenobia’s new takes on seasonal songs as well as well-known songs from the Danish song treasury in Zenobia’s interpretations. The lyrics for the new songs are written by Iben Krogsdal and Martin Rauff-Nielsen.
In late summer 2024, Zenobia will release a new CD with the songs from Årsværk. You can already hear samples of Årsværk over at Zenobias YouTube channel.
Julekoncert
Julekoncerterne tager udgangspunkt i advents- og julesange. Der er både velkendte materiale og Zenobias egne sange. Desuden krydres altid med 2-3 folkemusiknumre. Trioen har altid fællessange/salmer med.
Musikgudstjenester
Zenobia spiller præludium, postludium, musik under nadveren og evt. et interludium. Derudover akkompagnerer trioen gerne salmerne. Salmevalget sammensættes gerne i samarbejde mellem præsten og Zenobia, så det både passer til dagens tekst og Zenobias folkelige tone.
Festivaler
Zenobia har flere gange spillet på festivaler, både som helt almindelige festivalkoncerter, til morgensang eller kirkekoncert under festivalen. Koncerterne er ligesom andre Zenobia-koncerter med sange, folkemusik og fortælling. Der kan også inddrages fællessang, hvis koncertformatet og lokationen er egnet til det.
